storm-winds upon the sea-
Tell me TO weigh great Cheops-
Set v9l.ahlc forces lree,
To picture Robert Lee!
As SAM, bound Tor Damascus iair'
Was struck blind by sudden light,
80 my eyes are pained and dazzled
By n radiance puro ana white
Of that glory-belted Knight
He was all the Nornans polish
And sobricty OF grace;
All the ioths majestic figure;
Al the Romans noble face;
paronial wore his acres wberc
pntn,nac's ,sntc,s pun,
High Ills lineage and his blazon
Wns nv cunning hernlds done.
Hlt batter still he might have said
Ofhis 'Works'' he was the ''son,"
Truth v,lted beside him slvgavs
Prom his chiidhooJ's carly ycars
